Scored 5 – The Entrepreneur is the fully free Sovereign salon owner
Congratulations! You are one of the rare salon owners who have complete freedom from your salon. It runs like a well oiled machine without you and isn’t affected by you not being there. You are no longer tied to the tools and serving clients as the operator, you are the owner. You have built systems and trained your team to be a high performance team.
The ultimate goal for any salon owner who wants security knowing if they ever removed themselves from the salon their income isn’t affected.
You have the time to now focus on a second income stream like a true entrepreneur.
Score 6-10 The salon operator is tied to the tools as the busiest employee
You have no real freedom in your business as it fully relies on you to earn your income . You are a key operator serving the clients to bring in the income which means when you are not there your income is greatly impacted. You are unsure if your team would run things as well without you. You have a job working for your business, rather than your salon business working for you.
You have the potential to gain freedom if you take these the steps outlined further down
Scored 11+ The Salon Slave chained to your salon with zero freedom from your salon business.
Ok I get it, you may love what you do so the word “slave” might feel harsh but it’s likely you work long hours and don’t take enough holidays. It’s likely you are earning nowhere near the amount you want so it’s always a bit stressful thinking of the loss of earnings at holiday time.
Your salon business wouldn’t exist without you . You have zero freedom from your salon. You are your salon and you would lose everything if you suddenly couldn’t work.
If you want security it’s time to start thinking of either building a team around you or creating a second income stream that you could do beyond the salon.
This could be something that makes you money while you sleep like a digital training platform, a salon that doesn’t rely on you is worth up to 10 x more in value.
1-Build a high performance team, including management, who run a lot of your business now so you know they can handle it if you’re not there.
2- Plug in systems and procedures. You need standard operating procedures so if you are not there your team knows exactly how things run so it’s smooth without you. Without clear standards and a strong culture you will struggle to retain a strong performing salon without you.
3- Step back from the tools more and take more holidays. If you have days now that you are not on the tools and the salon runs smoothly without you, then it’s more likely your team would adapt well to you not being there. Teach them now to be fully accountable for their results and build strong salon values and team culture.
